How to add an airport to the FMC database?

Featured Replies

Hello, I am quite new in flight simulators, so sorry for my possible inexperience.

I like to fly in Indonesia, but the P3D airport is Selaparang airport (ICAO: WADA) in Lombok as standard. Nowadays that airport is closed and replaced by Bandar international airport (ICAO: WADL). This airport is not in P3D. That's why I downloaded an add-on scenery for that airport. Now, for example, in the FMC in the PMDG 737 I want to plan a flight from Denpasar to Lombok (WADD-WADL). Then the FMC indicates that WADL (lombok airport) is not in the database. Is there a possibility that I can also get my add-on airport (Lombok airport) in the FMC Database?

With best regards

You are probably using a very old navigation database in your 737. Perhaps the original from when it was first released? You can purchase a one-time update for the PMDG 737 FMS database from Navigraph or Aerosoft that should include the new airport. It would probably be much easier doing that than trying to add the new airport to the existing database.

Thank you for the quick help!

It is indeed the original database from when it was released. I intend to purchase and implement a Navigraph update.
